Bombarded by boulders onto the dilapidated city wall, Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword and straightened up, looking at the vast wilderness outside the city.

Behind him, standing were two women, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen.

The two women were dressed in hard leather armor, their hair was held high, and their hands were pressed on the hilt of their swords like Liu Wei, and their bodies were straight.

The wind swept over the city walls, ruffling the ends of Liu Wei and the two women behind him, making them look a little more elegant.

"Your Highness!" Looking out of the city, Pang Tong walked up from behind quickly, and when he got behind Liu Wei, he bowed down to him with his fists and said, "General Guan is back!" ”

"Please!" Knowing that Guan Yu was back, Liu Wei hurriedly turned around and gave Pang Tong an order.

Pang Tong answered, turned his head to a dragoon guard on the side and said, "Please General Guan go up to the city wall to speak!" ”

"No!" The dragoon guard responded with his fists clenched and hurried towards the city.

"If Guan Yu beheads Gongsun Zhan, our army can return to Luoyang!" Watching the back of the dragoon guard disappear on the stairs, Liu Wei took a deep breath and said as if talking to himself: "I haven't been back to Luoyang for a long time, and I don't know what is going on there." ”

"I just got the news from Luoyang!" Liu Wei mentioned Luoyang, and Pang Tong whispered to him: "The right virtuous king of the Xiongnu went to Luoyang to greet Ju Ci, but Ju Ci was unwilling to return to Hetao with him. The visitor also said that Juji has been lingering in the Luoyang market recently, and it is much more difficult to protect it! ”

"That's what it's like this!" Knowing that Liu Nu was reluctant to leave Chang'an and liked to go to the crowded street market to play, Liu Wei just smiled slightly and said to Pang Tong: "Let someone tell Xu Shu to send more good hands, and protect the best people, and there must be no negligence!" ”

Liu Wei and Pang Tong were talking, and Guan Yu, led by a dragoon, walked quickly up the city wall and walked towards Liu Wei.

Guan Yu, who strode towards Liu Wei, was still carrying a bloody human head in his hand.

The man's head was covered with blood, and as Guan Yu moved, it couldn't stop swaying, and Liu Wei couldn't see who the owner of the head was.

When Liu Wei approached, Guan Yu held the hair bun of the human head in one hand, and held the hand of the human head with the other hand, bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "The last general ambushed on the trail according to the words of the military division, and sure enough, Gongsun Zhan fled in a rout. Gongsun Chan and his long history Guan Jing are all killed by the last general, and Gongsun Chan's head is here, dedicated to His Royal Highness! ”

Guan Yu's words fell, and the dragoon guards who led him up to the city wall stepped forward, bowed slightly, and took the head from his hand.

Taking the head, the dragoon guard held the head with both hands and presented it to Liu Wei.

After taking a closer look at the head, Liu Wei found that the owner of the head was Gongsun Zhan, whom he wanted to eliminate in this northern expedition.

Looking at Gongsun Zhan's closed eyes and bloody face, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel a strong sentimentality in his heart. A generation of heroes, just like that, ended his career!

Waving his hand at the dragoon guard holding the head, Liu Wei said to Guan Yu with a smile on his face: "Kill Gongsun Zhan, General Guan has made great contributions, and this king has his own reward!" ”

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Guan Yu hugged his fists and bowed down and said to him very humbly: "Liu Xuande, the elder brother of the last general, is grateful for His Highness's benevolence every day, and intends to visit His Highness, but he has never had the opportunity to meet him......"

"General Guan just wants this king to summon Xuande Gong." Without waiting for Guan Yu to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him, with a smile on his face, and said to him: "This time, Duke Xuande ordered the general to lead the army to come, and the general killed Gongsun Zan for meritorious service, and this king will meet with Duke Xuande." It's just that at the moment, in the area of Youzhou, many affairs still need to be disposed of, and when the king returns to Luoyang, he will order someone to go and invite Xuande Gong! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Wei promised to return to Luoyang in the future, and he would send someone to invite Liu Bei, Guan Yu was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, and bowed deeply to Liu Wei.

"The general is tired, let's go and rest!" Nodding to Guan Yu, Liu Wei had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and gave a faint order.

After thanking Liu again, Guan Yu descended the city wall under the guidance of the dragoon guards who brought him to the city wall.

When Guan Yu left, Pang Tong whispered to Liu Wei: "Look at that Guan Yu, I am thinking about Liu Xuande for everything, I think Liu Xuande must be a person who will win people's hearts!" ”

"Guan Yu is loyal, and the military advisor will definitely know in the future!" Nodding his head slowly, Liu Wei said to Pang Tong with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth: "A good student should take care of Guan Yu, don't be a little slack, this person is worthy of intersection!" But there is no need to deliberately solicit such talents, I am afraid that this kind of talent cannot be used by this king! ”

"Your Majesty!" Holding his fists and bowing, he first responded, and then Pang Tong said to Liu Wei: "Gongsun Chan has been ambushed, yesterday the siege of the city, the boulder damaged many houses, the people in the city still need to be resettled, and his subordinates will retire first!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding towards Pang Tong, Liu Wei said to him: "There is a labor division!" ”

Pang Tong went down the city wall, Liu Wei did not go down immediately, he turned around, walked to the side of the city wall near the city, held the battlements, and looked into the city.

During the siege, many of the boulders thrown by catapults did not hit the city walls, but flew over the walls and fell directly into the city.

The heavy boulder is extremely strong under the dual effect of the force of the catapult and the gravity of the free fall. Many houses that were unlucky and hit by boulders were directly smashed into powder.

When the Luoyang army attacked the city, the people in the city took refuge in their homes to avoid the arrows shot from outside the city, and it was for this reason that when the boulder hit the house, many people were buried under the collapsed ruins.

Next to the collapsed ruins, many Luoyang army officers and soldiers, with the help of the living people, are digging through the ruins and looking for survivors with difficulty.

Although the Luoyang army and the people who assisted in the rescue picked up many corpses and survivors, there were still one or two faint calls for help occasionally in the ruins.

Two Luoyang Army soldiers, when passing through a ruin, one of them suddenly stopped, carefully listening to the surrounding movements.

Another Luoyang soldier obviously didn't hear anything, and when his companion stopped, he had already taken two more steps, turned his face to look at his companion in amazement, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shh Luoyang Jun, who stopped first, raised a hand and made a silent gesture to his companion, and waited for a moment before saying to his companion: "There is someone down here!" ”

"Nope!" Luoyangjun, who stopped, blinked his eyes twice, listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear any movement, looked at his companion from head to toe with doubts on his face, and said to his companion: "You can't hear it wrong!" ”

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong!" Luoyang Jun, who stopped first, said to his companion with great certainty: "It's a woman, I can hear her shouting for help!" ”

"Quick! Pick it up with me! As he spoke, before his companions came to their senses, the Luoyang army, who had stopped first, was already squatting on the ground and began to pull the ruins.

Another soldier of the Luoyang Army, standing aside, looked at his companion with a serious face on the ruins, although he didn't hear anything, he still stepped forward to help.

The two of them removed some stones, then a few more beams that had been smashed down, and what appeared in front of them was a bloody corpse.

The corpse was already covered in blood when it was hit by the falling stones, and half of its head was smashed, and even its face was unrecognizable. However, from the clothes worn by the corpse, it was vaguely discernible that it was a woman who was crushed under a block of stones and wooden beams.

"She's going to call for help?" Looking at the woman's corpse, Luoyang Jun, who had not heard any movement at first, looked at his companion with a shocked expression, and asked with trembling lips, "You can't be a hell, right?" ”

Seeing this corpse, the soldiers of the Luoyang Army, who had heard the cry for help from under the ruins, licked his lips and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, he had never been afraid on the battlefield, and his face was also pale at this time, obviously frightened.

"Get out of here!" The soldiers of the Luoyang Army who heard the movement were already a little stunned, and another Luoyang soldier grabbed his arm and pulled him up to run.

"Stop!" The two of them were about to lift their feet when a woman's cry came from behind them.

Hearing this shout, the tight strings in the hearts of the two Luoyang soldiers finally couldn't bear the pressure of the most rear, broke apart, and sat on the ground almost at the same time.

Just as the two of them were slumped on the ground, Guan Qing, who was wearing scale armor and pressing the hilt of his sword, strode towards them with two dragoon guards.

"What's going on!?" When he arrived in front of the two soldiers, Guan Qing frowned slightly and asked them, "Why are you so panicked?" ”

When Guan Qing arrived in front of him, the two Luoyang soldiers who were paralyzed by fright raised their heads, and when they saw that it was Guan Qing who shouted to them, their emotions calmed down a little, and one of them trembled his teeth and said to Guan Qing: "Go back...... Back to the general, there is ...... Ghosts! ”

"!" As soon as the soldier's words fell, Guan Qing opened his eyes, glared at him, waved his hand to the two Luoyang soldiers, and said to them, "Where are the ghosts?" Take Shogun Ben to see it! ”

The two Luoyang soldiers were obviously frightened, but Guan Qing gave the order, and how dare they not listen, so they had to stand up tremblingly, and reluctantly led Guan Qing in front.

Arriving at the ruins where the body was found just now, Guan Qing looked down at the bloody female corpse, and just as she was about to order the two dragoons behind her to move the corpse away, a weak female voice came from the ruins again: "Help...... Life! ”

The female voice coming from the ruins was very ethereal, almost inaudible if she wasn't standing next to it.

Hearing this cry for help, the two Luoyang soldiers who were the first to find the corpse screamed, and they retreated several steps backwards, and after running away, when they turned their heads to look at Guan Qing and the two dragoon guards, they were still fighting with their upper and lower teeth in fear.

Standing beside the ruins, Guan Qing, who clearly heard the cry for help, also looked at the corpse in front of him with a stunned face, and after a while, he turned his head to the two dragoons behind him and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”

"I heard you!" The two dragoon guards also looked a little nervous, and when they heard Guan Qing's question, they hurriedly responded.

"Move the corpse away!" Just after the two dragoon guards answered, there was a thin cry for help from under the ruins, Guan Qing frowned slightly, and gave the order to the two dragoon guards to move the corpses.
